I purchased a custom theme with many more design possibilities than OP's current theme. However, I love OP's back-end. Is there a way to make this new theme an OP child, retain all of the new theme's design, yet take advantage of OP's strengths under the hood?

I get these errors when I use Rubik without the linking to the OP stylesheet:

How closely tied must my child theme be to OP in order to work with the OP back-end? (Remember, I don't want OP's theme styles.)

I am not sure if I am correct but any theme can be used as an admin theme, for example, the Garland. There should be no relationship between OP default them and the Rubik theme. I get no error when I make the Garland as the administration theme.
Try clearing cache and then trying again. It should work. It works with me.

If your new theme works apart from the backend theme, you should be fine. But again, so far I know, the theme for your site need not to be related to the administration theme in any way.
I myself did not try with any theme other than the OP's default theme. So, I cannot check if I get those errors or not. I am a bit curious which theme are you using?

I am using SolarSentinel, by Rockettheme.com. They have begun converting their gorgeous Joomla themes to Drupal. The conversions are not up to speed in some ways (for instance, they don't use views, etc. - instead relying on old-style block positioning), but they offer much more design flexibility for the end-user without requiring coding intervention. I needed some dependable way to have a menu until OP 2.1 (hopefully) integrates some menu.

Normally not, but they integrated Rubik into OP theme.
Also I think they did some pathcing in it but not sure
